What's documented
Bonnybridge is a small town in the Falkirk Council Area of central Scotland, population ~7,000. Beginning in 1992, councillor Billy Buchanan began collecting and forwarding sighting reports — which he calculated as ~300 per year — to the UK Ministry of Defence and to successive UK Prime Ministers (Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron). The town has become locally known as the "UFO Capital of the World"; the surrounding area is informally termed the "Falkirk Triangle."

Falkirk Council member Billy Buchanan has forwarded sighting reports to every UK Prime Minister since John Major in 1992, formally requesting an official inquiry. Replies from each PM’s office acknowledging receipt are in Buchanan’s public files. The total reports forwarded exceed 8,000 across 30+ years.

The UK Ministry of Defence’s ‘Project Condign’ report (‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region,’ 2000) released under FOIA in 2006 acknowledged Bonnybridge and the Falkirk corridor as a recurring UAP cluster. The report’s principal hypothesis was atmospheric plasma.
